Welcome to the Child and Young Person’s Advance Care Plan Collaborative (CYPACP) website.
This website has been set up to share the materials produced by the Child and Young Person’s Advance Care Plan Collaborative Working Group.. We are also delighted to include resources and information from many external sources, recognising the benefit in sharing the excellent work and wide expertise throughout the country in advance care planning (in particular those relevant to babies, children and young people). Thank you to all those who have contributed to these resources.
The Collaborative is a group of NHS and private sector organisations with the common goal of delivering the best possible care to children and young people with life limiting and life threatening conditions. The Collaborative has built over a number of years since the CYPAcP commenced and its membership now spreads throughout the whole of the UK and includes professionals from many different backgrounds and roles, also including patient and public representation. We strongly believe this wide membership and experience helps to create an understanding and knowledge of advance care planning to support the varied needs of our patients, families and professionals who come into contact with them.
If you would like to be involved in any future work, be it in collating and producing educational resources or perhaps for involvement in future versions, then please contact us Contact Details
